2nd publication in Contributor Magazine this year. Super excited about it.
Got a promo of Egon from Stones Throw's latest effort in his ongoing aural archaeology series.
This time it comes from Indonesia. Indonesian psych prog/funk/rock to be exact.
It's called "Those Shocking, Shaking Days. Indonesian Hard, Psychedelic, Progressive Rock and Funk: 1970 - 1978" and the whole album kills it.
Check out the title track:

Song of the day from album of the week, likely of the year.
Hoping I get to make it out to the secret show at the Bowery Ballroom tonight.
Let's have a toast for the douchebags, who also happen to be geniuses.
Picked this new War On Drugs EP on vinyl a little bit ago.
Love their sound.Reminds me of Arcade Fire/Bruce Springsteen/driving the NJ turnpike.
Perfect for road trips. Which I will be taking soon.
It's been out for a little bit but I'm just finally checking out Spoek Mathambo's album, Mshini Wam, and I really dig it. That said, it begs the question of how to describe it and in some ways, it's really hard to say. So many young people are now making music via this method of having every reference and no reference. It's a genre and cultural hodgepodge and I love this younger people's music that's essentially all-hybrid and no-genre. Who cares what it's called, I just know it's good.
